Take down that failed old Suggestion Box on the wall and start again ...

We all know that employee suggestion programs are not a new idea, and we also remember the failed "box on the wall" of yesteryear - take it down now! Next Generation systems tap into the benefits latent in the organization by avoiding these pitfalls:

  • Lack of Top Management support

  • Poor Employee motivation, because ideas get lost under Administrator overload and don't get implemented

  • Poor communication about progress to the Suggestor

  • Failure to manage the evaluation of ideas

  • Failure to recognize the contribution for ideas

         ...  use PrIsM to avoid these classic mistakes.
